Why can't we use a catalyst to break down Carbon Dioxide into Carbon and Oxygen?

I could probably open one of my chemistry textbooks and find that it isn't energetically feasible or that the shape of the molecule wouldn't allow a catalyst to work. But I can't be bothered to do that because it's too late, so I'll let you nice people do it instead.

If it could be done it would be the solution to all our problems though so I guessing it can't be done.

What is the impact of the earth shifting its axis 1 degree?

I heard that the earth shift that caused the tsunami shifted the earth 1 degree on its axis. I have not been able to verify this. Would we feel that kind of a shift? If not, how much shift would be noticeable?

Can 'combined' speeds exceed the speed of light?

Lets say two objects are traveling at 60% of the speed of light and traveling away from each other. From simple math, the relative combined speed from either of the objects would be 120%. I understand that the objects mass would be greatly increased, even at 60%, but wouldn't it be possible?

Is there any way to detect nuclear weapons using a satellite?

I would hope that the US government already has such a satellite in orbit and is keeping it a secret, but in either case I would like to know if such a device is possible and what its capabilities and limitations would be.

Is the planet Mars going to temporarily move closer to Earth in August?

I have an e-mail that tells me this is supposed to happen over the month of August and the planet will be at it's closest to earth by the end of the August. It is likely that it will not happen again for another 5,000 to 60,000 years. I have a good telescope and wouldn't mind seeing something that no other people in recorded history has seen.

Would our solar system survive when the sun dies?

What I mean is, would we (people, animals) survive in like Biodomes, or would everything and everyone die because we need the sun to live? Could we stay on Earth or would we have to leave this solar system to find a planet with the Earth's similarities?
